A nice, light salad. I used my Cuisinart to slice the iceberg, which made prep time a bit shorter. The whole family seemed to like it.11/12/08

This is really good--I changed a little bit. I couldn't find watercress, so I just omitted it. I used raw broccoli and added sunflower seeds and sliced red onion (added nice color). The dressing was great and my guests raved about the salad. Very pretty presentation, too.03/20/05
